ALWAYS BASKETBALL
GIRLS PROGRAM
5TH–8TH GRADE GIRLS • NORTHVILLE, MICHIGAN
NEED TO MAKE UP A PRACTICE?
Players who miss their team’s practice because of a scheduling conflict may attend another Always Basketball team’s practice when appropriate.
WHAT THE GIRLS PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE
Always Basketball is a year-round developmental basketball program designed to help girls grow as players, teammates and competitors. Our program combines skill development, team practices, league play and tournaments while creating a positive environment where players are challenged, supported and encouraged to improve.
We understand that many of our players participate in multiple sports and activities. Our goal is to provide a competitive basketball experience while working with families to accommodate scheduling conflicts whenever possible.
PRACTICES & DEVELOPMENT
Team practices focus on skill development, basketball IQ, fundamentals and learning how to play the game as a team. Players are challenged to improve while practicing in a positive and supportive environment.
LEAGUES & TOURNAMENTS
Teams compete in league play and local tournaments throughout the season, giving players meaningful game experience while putting the skills and concepts learned in practice into action.
MULTI-SPORT
FRIENDLY
We encourage players to participate in multiple sports and activities. When scheduling conflicts happen, we work with families whenever possible so players can continue developing and competing.

ONE PROGRAM. ONE FAMILY.
From the first practice to the final game, our goal is to create an environment where players support one another, compete together and understand that they are part of something bigger than one team.
WHAT FAMILIES CAN EXPECT
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Players are taught the fundamentals of the game while continuing to develop their individual skills, basketball IQ, confidence and understanding of team basketball. Our goal is steady, age-appropriate development that prepares players for the next level of competition.
TEAM EXPERIENCE
We want every player to feel part of something bigger than just one player. Players learn to compete, communicate, support their teammates and understand their role within a team — while building friendships and enjoying the game of basketball.
MORE THAN BASKETBALL
Always Basketball is about more than practices and games. From community events like the Northville Lighted Parade and team outings to college basketball experiences and friendships that last beyond the season, we want our players and families to feel part of something special.
EXPERIENCES BEYOND THE COURT
Creating memories and exposing our players to basketball at the next level.
FRIENDSHIPS THAT LAST
Building relationships that continue long after the season ends.
